Do it yourself - High grade lime paints 09_2015_Wä+Decken_Anwen_deut.qxd 12.11.2015 16:19 Seite 1

AURO high-grade lime paints are easy to use and are characterisedby their excellent effect and coverage. They are made from purelymineral raw materials and selected aged slaked lime qualities. We consistently stick to this rule even when other manufacturers of natural paints fall back on synthetic additives. Thanks to theirmoisture-controlling properties natural lime paints and plasterscontribute to an ideal climate at home.

After use, all dried AURO products can be composted withoutburdening the environment – and are thus returned to the naturalmaterials cycle.

We wish you every pleasure when decorating and styling your home with AURO products. You will find more information on our products at your AURO dealer and on www.auro.com.

The high-grade lime products at a glancePrimersHigh-grade silicate primer (306) is the ideal undercoat for High-grade limepaint (344) for outdoors. This primer levels surface irregularities and stabilisesand perfectly binds all mineral substrates.

You can make your own powdery filler from High-grade lime filler (342) in an instant to obtain acompound that is easy to form and suitable forlevelling substrates and touching up small de-fects. This filler is easy to form and mould with a spatula or trowel.

Lime paintHigh-grade lime paint (344) is an absolute mustfor all those who prefer a classic whitewash finish.It is the ideal solution for opaque coatings on ceil-ings and walls indoors and outdoors.

This lime paint is breathable, stands out due to itshigh opacity, is easy to use, easy to apply by sprayequipment and is quick drying. Its degree of whiteness (luminance) is 97 out of 100.

Lime plasterHigh-grade lime plaster, fine (345) and High-grade trowel lime plaster (347) are suitable asready-to-use plaster for interiors such as base-ments, bathrooms, etc. The fine grain texture offine lime plaster provides very decorative finisheswith different textures depending on the applica-tion method used (roller or brush), whereas trowellime plaster is characterised by its high fillingpower and is preferably ap-plied by trowel, andcan then be artistically textured by brush or spat-ula if desired.

Lime tinting baseThe lime tinting base (350) is available in 7 full shades which will make yourheart beat faster and will give free rein to your creativity on and with high-grade lime products indoors. You can apply the lime tinting base as full shade,use it as tinting base for the lime paint, breathe new life into the lime filler or apply it by brush onto the lime plaster, fine and the trowel lime plaster inpastel colour shades. The lime tinting bases can also be mixed with each otherso that an infinite array of colours can be obtained. So there are no morebounds to individual variety.


How to mix high-grade lime fillerPour High-grade lime filler (342) into a suffi-ciently large bucket and mix it with water at amixing ratio of 2 parts of filler to 1.1 parts ofwater. Then stir the compound, preferably witha whisk, until it has the right consistency andis free of lumps. Allow to swell for 2 – 5 min-utes and stir again. If the compound is toostiff, you can dilute it with water.

Application by coarse trowelYou can now apply the filler to the walls byspatula or smoothing trowel, observing themaximum layer thickness of 3 mm. Also makesure that you do not mix more filler than canbe applied within one working day.

How to tint high-grade lime fillerThose who like it colourful can stir in Lime tin-ting base (350) after mixing the filler to tint thebase product straight away. Or you can applythe full shade to the dried filler. In any case, allkinds of techniques can be used with a lot ofimagination.

Rooms with an oriental atmosphereThe so-called ‘Stuccolustro’ technique canbring forth highly densified surfaces with asilky-smooth surface feel and the look of won-derfully structured marble. Several layers of the pre-tinted lime filler are forced on the wall,criss-cross, with a smoothing trowel, Venetianshape, or a Japanese spatula. This produces acloudy appearance with distinct visual effects,depending on the tool used. The high degree ofdensification during application provides for ahighly solid coating.

The surface can be given additional lustre andprotection by applying and polishing a finalcoat of the clear Wall glaze wax (370-00).

Multi-talented all-rounderOne major advantage of the new Lime tintingbase (350) is its versatility. It can also beused as tinting paint for Anti-mould paint(327) and for Airfresh wall paint (328).

The technique really matters -renovation with lime plaster

Coloured lime plaster?As the plaster is very firm, it is recommended touse a suitable device (e.g. a mixing attachment)to stir Lime tinting base (350) into the lime plas-ter.

However, coloured walls can also be obtainedby applying lime tinting base to the dried plas-ter – either as full shade or as a creative com-position from several colour shades. You canalso apply a coat of tinted High-grade limepaint (344) to the plaster in order to bringcolour into your home.

Ideal for renovationIn contrast to high-grade lime paint and finehigh-grade lime plaster, High-grade trowellime plaster (347) has a very filling texturewhich enables very creative work. Preferablyapply an even layer with a smoothing troweland remove the surface surplus. You can thenfor example press in shells or small stones asdecorative elements or model the still wetplaster by hand or with a spatula as you wish.It can, however, also be applied by brush orroller after adding water.

Light momentsCountless variationsUsing the seven base colours, countless colour vari-ations are possible with Lime tinting base (350), whet-her by mixing a certain percentage of a paint with thebase product or by gradually merging several colour sha-des. Everything is possible within the extensive AUROlime product range.

How to tint with lime tinting baseFill the base product, e.g. High-grade lime paint (344),into a sufficiently large bucket. Now add Lime tintingbase (350) while stirring until you obtain the desiredcolour shade. Lime tinting base can be mixed with AURO lime paints at any mixing ratio.

As the paints have a slightly transparent effect while wetand the final colour shade is only obtained after the con-clusion of the drying process, we recommend carryingout a test application in an inconspicuous area andassessing the colour shade only after the paint has fullydried.

When tinting AURO lime plasters and AURO lime filler,the lime tinting base has a diluting effect on these products.

Use as full shadeDue to their natural composition and the selected lime qualities, lime tinting bases "shine" from the inside and also maintain this luminosity. So there is nothing to be said against full-shade coatings. For example, aflowery yellow or light blue brighten up small rooms and make them seemlarger. A 2.5 litre pack has a coverage of up to 25 m² per coat. For finishes in lighter colours the lime tinting base can be diluted with up to a maximum of 20 % water.

Best results on large surfaces are obtained by roller application. The resul-ting slightly cloudy finish is product-specific and gives the room an indivi-dual touch.

Up to now, wall paints were expected to provide a purely visual improvement.Airfresh wallpaint (328) can do much more, not only does it deliver visiblefreshness, it can also use light to effectively disperse pollutants and odoursand thus create a healthy living environment.

The special combination of raw materials acts as a catalyst that, activated by light, splits up odours and air pollutants into neutral substances.

The application video on www.youtube.de/aurotvshows how a perfect coating can be obtained withAURO Airfresh wallpaint.

Designed to feel good

Acute mould growth? No problem.

Although high-grade lime products preventmould growth you have to act quickly if the wall is already infested with fungi.

Pur-san3 (414) in a handy box offers everythingyou need for mould control. Three componentsfor mould removal, stoppage and protectionare a reliable remedy.

Mould eliminator (412) removes stubborn infestation from walls and ceilings – without producing toxic evaporations. Mould stop (413) then prevents spores from spreading further – chlorine-free, gentle to the material and non-bleaching. A final coat ofAnti-mould paint (327) makes the infestedareas largely resistant to new infestation.The paint is characterised by its high opa-city and high pH value (approx. 12).

Use biocides safely. Always read labellingand product information prior to use.
